"Back to the emperor, the choice of the prince is related to the country and the country. All the princes are excellent, but there can only be one prince. It needs to be carefully examined before making a decision. I dare not speak nonsense."
Emperor Yao heard the implication of her words and said, "Si Qing thinks that just recording words and deeds cannot reveal the character of the princes?"
Si Yiluo cupped his hands and responded: "Back to the emperor, since Taizu founded the Great Zhou Dynasty, His Highness the Crown Prince has to learn the way of being a king from Taizu since he was a child. He listens to the government in the imperial study room for two hours every day and is familiar with the government. Only in this way can he become familiar with the government.
Cultivate kings who are responsible for the world."
"But although the princes go to court every day to listen to politics, due to the rules set by our ancestors that other princes except the prince are not allowed to participate in politics, I am afraid that even if the prince is elected now, he may not be qualified for the position of the prince..."
"I am speaking from the bottom of my heart. I am loyal to the Emperor and think of the great Zhou Dynasty. I have absolutely no selfish motives of my own. Please forgive me for this, Your Majesty!"
Since Emperor Yao was interested in establishing the crown prince, she, as a minister, could certainly make suggestions.
Wan Zhong, who was waiting next to him, wiped the sweat from his forehead. Si Yiluo could say this as a minister, but he couldn't say it as a servant. If he dared to say more, Emperor Yao would suspect that he was trying to interfere.
Government officials, wondering if he had received benefits from someone...
Si Yiluo's words touched Yao Emperor's heart. Zhou Rong was a few years older than Zhou Chen, and Zhou Rong had been cautious and conservative since he was a child. When it was time to decide on the crown prince, he hesitated, not knowing whether to choose the eldest son or the legitimate son.
Moreover, he was having a fierce fight with King Min at that time, so he had no time to think about this issue.
Until he defeated King Min and ascended to the throne, because the throne was not so glorious, he became suspicious of everyone, first his brother, and later even his son.
Until now, he has not made a decision.
The ancestral system established the direct eldest son, the emperors of all dynasties were all the eldest sons, Zhou Rong was the eldest son, and Zhou Chen was the legitimate son. After hesitation and hesitation, we got to where we are now.
The princes have grown older, and although they have been suppressed by him, their ambitions have not diminished at all.
It made him both happy and scared at the same time, fearing that the palace changes of the past would happen again.
He had been hesitating for so many years, and not only the ministers around him noticed it, but also there were several gusts of wind blowing in the court. The princes below did not say that everyone had ambitions, but everyone had ideas in their hearts.
"Recently, Xie Yun wrote a book about the same thing." Emperor Yao rubbed his temples and simply lay down on the couch, "When Xie Yun's book came out, it temporarily blocked the limelight for you and He Yan, but it also
The spearhead is pointed at the issue that I most want to ignore but cannot ignore."
"How should I choose the direct eldest son?"
Emperor Yao stared at the roof and pondered for a long time. He turned around and saw Si Yiluo and Wei Heyan, and said, "You are doing things for me, but recently many people in the court have scolded you. Do you blame me?"
Wei Heyan put the processed folds into the basket and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, I have no complaints. It is my duty to share your worries and solve your problems."
He was just like another person in front of Emperor Yao. Si Yiluo said: "Outsiders can scold me as much as they like. I have a clear conscience, and there are so many people scolding me. If I remember them all, wouldn't I be causing trouble for myself!
"
"As long as you think like this, it's getting late. If you don't leave the palace, it's time to lock the door. Go back and have a rest. I'll think about it again..."
"Your Majesty, please go to bed early."
As soon as it got dark, Emperor Yao couldn't stop the tiredness on his face, and his body was indeed not as strong as before.
This is the case for older people. No matter whether you were in good health or mentally before you got sick, once you get sick, it will take a long time to recover.
Emperor Yao is the king of a country, and he has to worry about everything in the world. It is even more difficult to raise him.
Si Yiluo withdrew from the Imperial Study Room, and not long after, Wei Heyan also withdrew.
Then he saw Wan Zhong ordering his chamberlain to prepare a soft sedan.
"Your Majesty will go to the Queen's Palace tonight."
Wei Heyan gently explained her confusion, and then Si Yiluo remembered Jiang Yun who was brought into the palace by the queen.
"Let's go out of the palace."
The two of them walked side by side outside the palace, with Si Yiluo following behind him. Thinking that he had been investigating Jiang Yun's identity and background, he couldn't help but ask: "Are you investigating Jiang Yun?"
Wei Heyan hummed and said, "It doesn't seem like there's anything wrong."
The unspoken meaning was that in fact, he suspected that Jiang Yun did not appear suddenly.
Si Yiluo felt uncomfortable and said, "Stop checking."
With just one sentence, Wei Heyan understood the deep meaning and asked: "Did you do it?"
Si Yiluo didn't say a word, he knew that this matter was not done by her, but by her good friend Shen Moran.
"Is Zhou Zhan trying to imitate Zhou Yu?"
Zhou Yu poisoned Emperor Yao, and Zhou Zhan found a woman who looked exactly like Concubine Jia. There was no warmth at all between father and son, it was all taking advantage!
He found it very interesting.
Wei Heyan thought of the former Concubine Jia and sighed at the blackened sky. It was a very ironic thing to talk about feelings in the palace surrounded by palace walls.
There is no shortage of losers in the palace, and Concubine Jia is just one of them. In addition to making others sigh a few more times, no one will remember the person who withered like a flower.
It took more than ten years for Emperor Yao to remember...
Si Yiluo guessed whether he was thinking that people like Emperor Yao deserved to be plotted against?
From some aspects, Emperor Yao was a qualified king, but from other aspects, what he did was really chilling.
On the deserted palace road, Si Yiluo quietly held his hand. When walking in the palace every day, would he think of his childhood?
The sky was dark, so Wei Heyan wrapped his hand in hers and held her back with greater strength.
"I'm fine. Even if he was plotted to death, it has nothing to do with me."
They are brothers, and logically they should support each other, but the relationship between brothers from the same mother is so cold, so cold that they don't recognize each other. Every time Wei Heyan kneels down to serve him, his heart has long been numb.
At this moment, Si Yiluo felt the loneliness emanating from him, and then understood why in his previous life he always lay alone in bed and stared at the roof in a daze.
That kind of loneliness can eat away at a person's mind.
"It's enough for me to have you now..."
Wei Heyan scratched her palm with his fingers, turned the corner and walked out of the palace gate. The imperial guards guarded the palace gate, and the two of them could only make some small movements.
Si Yiluo hurriedly pulled his hand away and distanced himself from him.
Wei Heyan glanced at her, said nothing, and climbed onto his carriage. Si Yiluo quickly climbed onto his horse, and the two of them headed in the same direction without even saying hello.
"Tsk, Si Yiluo and Wei Heyan are still so uncooperative..."
In the dark, I don't know which soldier on duty sighed secretly, but was snatched away by the people next to him.
"It's amazing that these two can handle each other!"
The new soldier was ignorant and asked quietly: "But sometimes when it's windy, rainy or snowy, I see two of them riding in a carriage to go to court!"
The night is long, and the imperial guards guarding the palace don't just stand there all night, taking turns to be lazy.
"Don't you understand this? These two enemies live across the street from each other. They look up and don't see each other every day. They still have to pretend. They are both big shots. Even if they are at odds, they can still sit down and drink tea together.
Let’s sit together and drink tea. Boy, let’s try sitting down with your nemesis Xu Laosan and drinking a cup of tea!”
